The Importance of Construction Safety

November 2016

Every year far too many construction workers suffer the consequences of inadequate health and safety practice, misjudgement or misinterpretation of the basic legal requirements. No company deliberately wants to injure, maim or kill their workforce by putting employees at needless risk but the figures don’t lie.

“Construction Industry Statistics for 2013/2014 (HSE - 2015) – 42 Deaths on average 46 over the previous 5 years; 31000 new cases of work-related ill health; 2.3 million lost working days; cost to society £1.1 Billion”

In stark reality the figures continue to stack up, don’t let your employees contribute to the next round of statistics.
